>Description:
The devel/gvd port tries to build an .info file using tex. I don't have tex installed on this new machine so it fails building:

makeinfo --force -o gvd.info gvd.texi
makeinfo --force --no-headers --no-split -o gvd.txt gvd.texi
echo x | tex gvd.texi
tex: not found
gmake[1]: *** [doc] Error 127
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/devel/gvd/work/gvd-1.2.0-src/docs'
gmake: *** [docs] Error 2
*** Error code 2

>How-To-Repeat:
Try building the devel/gvd port without tex installed.
>Fix:
Provide a prebuild .info file so tex is not needed anymore.

State-Changed-Why:  
That's not how it works.  There is a BUILD_DEPENDS on TeX, which means it's 
required only for building the port - you can always grab the package if 
you don't want to deal with building TeX and then removing it. 

As for providing prebuilt documentation, that's outside of the scope of 
the ports system, and should be taken up with the author of the software 
itself.
